Well what instruments do you play? Do you know music theory? In a band, DJ, cello soloist from burkley? These all play a role in how different drugs would effect your musical abilities. I think certain drugs break boundaries with how much you care and add some free ness to music. Others add a major different perspective to music. whilst I'd never play on some I always make it a point to play on others

It can be amazing, but I reckon my mind is perma warped now so I don't need anything to make good music.

I've noticed that IME there is a point in a trip where letting go becomes second nature. This is the time to grab a good ol' music device. There is usually about ten minutes or so of getting the chops adjusted to the new headspace but after that... oh buddy. I notice that I'm just a spectator listening to notes coming from the instrument as opposed to making the instrument speak. You see, the beauty of music is that you only have to play one note at a time Time (as we are predisposed to perceive it) is linear, right?
Through playing music on a trip or two, I realised what people mean when they say "listen", especially in terms of improvisation. The moment that I begin thinking about what I'm doing or patting myself on the back for a tasty something that I just played, I begin missing the music that's happening in the now. Funny how that is.

Acid is THE drug for improvisation, shrooms could work too but I find them a little more distracting

Yeah it's the best feeling when you're just tearing through something magical because you're letting it happen and trusting the moment, experiencing it as much as creating it...
and then I pat myself on the back for it and just like you said, "shwoosh", i'm in a new perspective with it, trying to catch up with the moment again!
Both are fun though, to let the music flow through completely, and to be racing to find that next sweet spot.

Frequently imagination lost, creative blocks and aimlessness can be disrupted by drugs. Lack of passion and focus can be remedied with some stuff. Stuff can go in any direction though. The other night I had no concept of what a guitar was or where to find my fingers. Sleep or increased brain drain states can and do happen. It would truly suck to be a profession musician and be relying on drugs. Ozzy Ozbourne was touring and drying out at the same time, would have been hell but then lying in bed would not have been much better. Amazing focus will be as inevitable as inebriated incompetence. I have recordings that sound special amazing when I'm tripping.

Spacemen 3 is awesome.
I never thought of naming a song after my own personal obsession.
On typical straight nights I might stare at movies or read, on certain drugs at certain doses I'll record music. Creativity does happen without drugs, but drugs disrupt lazy lost directions.

I just don't need drugs to be creative at all. It's always there, its more if I'm in the mood to take advantage of it.

They can make a difference for sure either good or bad. This one is about drugs while on drugs.
